T50 |
0-114 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The global probability distribution of COVID-19 cases with respect to the ambient temperature is shown in Fig. 1 . |
T51 |
115-162 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The temperature interval at each panel is 1 °C. |
T52 |
163-332 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The results clearly illustrate that 60.0% of the confirmed COVID-19 cases were found in places where the air temperature ranged from 5 °C to 15 °C, with a peak at 11 °C. |
T53 |
333-444 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, there were few confirmed cases located at cold (lower that 0 °C) and hot (greater than 30 °C) regions. |
T54 |
445-622 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Fitting the results using normal distribution, we found that the mean and the standard deviation of the fitted normal distribution curve were 11.54 °C and 5.47 °C, respectively. |
T55 |
623-879 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A previous study analyzed the relationship between daily confirmed COVID-19 cases and air temperature from 122 cities in China (Xie and Zhu, 2020) and pointed out that confirmed COVID-19 cases increased by 4.861%/°C for ambient temperature lower than 3 °C. |
T56 |
880-1053 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Based on the analysis of global COVID-19 cases, our results demonstrated that confirmed COVID-19 cases increased by 27,536 cases/°C for ambient temperature lower than 10 °C. |
T57 |
1054-1173 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Thus, the rate of increase in COVID-19 cases induced by temperature may have been underestimated by the previous study. |
T58 |
1174-1417 |
Sentence |
denotes |
